5 best night lenses

Night or orthokeratological lenses are a relatively new way to correct vision without glasses or surgeries. They are very tough and affect the cornea, causing it to temporarily change shape. Due to this effect, the light hits the retina, focusing at the desired point. And due to this, it turns out to restore vision. Albeit with a temporary effect, this is not a method of treatment, but only the ability to temporarily return 100% of the eyesight and stop the development of myopia.

Orthokeratological lenses can only be worn at night. You need to sleep at least 7-8 hours, but not more than 10 hours. If it is less, the effect will not be sufficiently pronounced. If more - in the eyes will feel strong discomfort, and the result will be weaker. The effect of wearing night lenses is cumulative - after removing the vision will be good for a day. Bedtime will have to wear them again.

Such a means of restoring vision is impossible to buy just like that. Consultation with an ophthalmologist and help in choosing is needed - each night lens is selected individually under the human eye. Sometimes you even have to make unique options to order. Each pair is worn on average 1-1.5 years, after which they need to be replaced. In addition, when using it, it will be necessary to have an examination by an ophthalmologist every few months.

As a result of wearing orthokeratological (night) means you can forget about the existence of glasses. But which model to entrust your eyes?
